Hi,

U must re-install ur audio device with its driver. There r 3 ways to get this driver

1- If ur HD has never been formated, u'll find an "Auio" folder in C:\Drivers.
2- Ur recovery CD
3- The Sony support website http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/index/index.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons

Since this is an old post, you might have found the answer. But I too had the same problem with my laptop. It turned out that using the earjack caused the problem. After using it, sometimes I got sound from my computer, sometimes not. To fix the problem, stick the jack in the jack port and pull it in and out many times until you hear the sound coming from your computer, not the earphones. I think there must be bad port connections in laptops because this seems to have fixed other laptops besides mine. I no longer use the earjack because its too much of a hassle to fix it each time, but at least I can now get sound.

JONXG2 - Feb 16, 2010 12:34PM

hey go to start then go to control panel then after that go to sounds and device click it and ther u go

I have a cr120 e also that had the same problem. There is a BIOS update that will fix the problem
all you have to do is go to the Sony support web page and download PHBSYS-16124100-US. It is a patch that should fix the errors in the SP1 update for vista.

I have a VGN- CR220E that has had this problem for such a long time. I tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked. Thank you so much - I finally have sound again! The patch number was actually different - PHBSYS-15626900-US.EXE, but I never would have found it withut your post.

i found going to the sony support website and re-installing or updating the audio drivers FIXED/SOLVED the problem for me. it was driving me nuts. the audio would ONLY work when i streamed things. VLC and other media players were completely silent no matter what i did.

Im having a problem with my Packard Bell laptop. Its quite old butim not sure how old because i got it from a friend. For the last 6 months or so the only sounds it will play are system sounds? that stupid beeping when something goes wrong? Itunes wont let me play any music and the volume is at highest? It tells me that there is a problem with my audio device? i dont have the disk for the speakers, because my friend didnt give it to me?
I dont know if anyone can help me but it would be nice to be able to watch programmes etc again. My laptop is pretty rubbish anyway but it seems to be breaking down on me...

have you checked to see if the other things are muted?
if its vista, double click the sound icon in the tray and run thought the programmes.

Did u try to re-install ur sound card ?

J-Rich - Dec 18, 2008 12:03AM

I have a similar problem with a Sony Vaio VGN-CR120E purchased around Aug 07. I have windows start up sounds (Vista Home Premium sp1) that play just fine, but when I log in to windows I normally have no more sound by the time all apps are done loading. Sometimes if I start playing music right away it will stay on for a while, I have never had it quit on me, just i will go to play sound on a site or itunes and nothing comes out. It is NOT visually muted, and in the volume control the volume is up for all apps the green "level indicator" is moving up and down.

I have not been able to identify an application that could be causing this conflict but would like some help figuring it out. I did reinstall the audio driver from sony website but with no change. Normal apps that would be loaded and running are firefox, itunes, quicktime and i guess windows system sounds. Also to note, there is no sound coming through the headphone output when this happens too.

Thanks

mohamed - Jan 10, 2010 09:05AM

I have installed the sound driver it shows correctly but no sound.

I GET sound from media players, but NO sound from anything else! No start up sound, no website sounds, no windows system sounds. Only sound from Windows media player and VLC media player. Any ideas how to fix. Sound card and drivers are all working properly!

dwiv Jan 15, 2009 10:54AM

I too am in the same boat. Sound kicks in when I startup and maybe 5% of the time it works when I want to play something from an application but then usual quits. Poor Sony's...does anyone know how to reinstall your sound card from vista?

J-Rich - Jan 15, 2009 11:06AM

DWIV, did you try the sony BIOS update described in posts above? Go to the sony support site and search for your model and check if there is a BIOS update for your laptop. There is one for the VGN-CR120E that specifically addresses the sound issue in windows vista. NO need to update sound card or reinstall driver.

jmp59 953Posts Tuesday June 8, 2004Registration date ContributorStatus Mar 2, 2009 10:06AM

i hope this helps someone

My laptop does have sound like when it starts up or other little things but wont play music and other things like that. I have to go to Run and type in Services.msc and scroll down to windows audio and start it. It's at automatic start but it never starts automatically (it fails.) I do that with wireless zero configuration too... to get a wireless signal for internet.

Hope that helped some of you looking for sound.

i too have a sony vaio CR series and i have been experiencing the same problem of no sound. However there is sound when windows starts but after that i cannot get any sound so therefore I am unable to listen to audio clips or even have voice chats through the upgraded messenger services... HELP please! From all these comments it must mean that Sony needs to address this problem that is common amongst the Vaio laptops particularly the CR series...
